On Wednesday, January 3, 1996 at approximately 9 a.m., two women
were indecently assaulted in separate incidents while they were
ascending the stairs at the 37th and Spruce Streets SEPTA Subway-Surface
station, westbound platform. In both incidents, the suspect (described
below) was unknown to the women. The suspect followed the women up the
stairway from the subway station and touched their buttocks with his
hand.

If you have any information regarding these incidents or the
suspect, please contact the University of PENN Police.

Safety Tips:

Always try to be aware of your surroundings and trust your
instincts. Call the police for assistance if a situation or individual
seems suspicious.

When traveling on the subway, try to choose a seat in the first
car, nearest to the train operator. Don't hesitate to ask the operator
to contact the police.

If you are followed by someone, turn around and walk in the
opposite direction. If the person persists, contact the police
immediately.

As always, when there is a problem, use the Emergency Blue
Light phones for immediate contact with the Penn Police or the SEPTA
Call Box System located inside each Subway-Surface station to contact
SEPTA Police.
